    Does anyone have any good tips for picking a trading name?
    Been bashing my head against the wall for days for a gift / hamper site.

    I'm sure there must be a automated name picker somewhere that will spit out heaps of: bluemonkey, icebadger etc type names.

    I'm in serious need of inspiration!

    Another thing I have done is post a contest on these or other forums asking people to help come up with the domain name. I'd pay the winner (if any) a few bucks via PayPal.

    Although I did not quite like what was suggested to me at the time, I did get a lot of people offering their ideas...

    Use adjectives, like ultimate.

    kiwihamper?

    Seriously - when you have it narrowed down, use Google adwords on a few different domain names. Don't change anything else but the names. See which one gets the most clicks...

    Cheers,
    Peter

    If you want truly bizare and original try one of the Google Wacking sites. They just use word lists and generate short combinations that are pretty guaranteed to be unique.
